Synopsis

From the battlefields to strategic insight, a veteran officer shares the lessons of Waterloo and beyond.

This historical work combines an eyewitness account with Kennedy’s Autobiographical Memoir, offering perspective on cavalry charges, sieges, and the defense of Canada. Readers will encounter firsthand descriptions, strategic reasoning, and reflections on great commanders.

Grounded in the author’s service across the Peninsular War, the text blends dramatic battle narratives with practical military theory. It portrays key moments at Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, and the Waterloo campaign, while also presenting plans for national defense that reflect 19th-century strategic thinking. The tone is measured, aiming to illuminate both the realities of war and the principles of defense that shaped policy.

• Eyewitness detail of cavalry attacks, assaults on fortifications, and siege operations.
• Personal recollections and anecdotes from a long military career.
• Analysis of defense planning for Canada and the importance of fortified positions and logistics.
• Thoughtful commentary on the conduct of war and the judgment of great commanders.

Ideal for readers of Napoleonic history, military strategy, and memoirs that blend action with analysis.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
